Self-Regulation with Accreditation
International Accreditation by World’s accreditation systems have come to stay in India. From a mere 1 internationally Accredited school, namely Management Development Institute (MDI) Gurgaon in 2015, the numbers have swollen to 120 plus today with a further 150 schools processing their international accreditation. The extraordinary fiat has been achieved by a strong push given by the leading Business school associations like Association of Indian Management Schools ( AIMS) and International Accreditation advocacy organisation SEAA (Standards for Educational Advancement & Accreditation), a New Delhi based non-profit.
There is much work to be done still considering that there are over 3000 Business schools today in India and the New Education Policy NEP rightly insists that future growth of higher education institutions would be anchored around high quality accreditation received by the institutions.
Keeping in view of the significant focus on accreditation, ISBR Business School, Bangalore is organizing a Two Days On-Campus Faculty Development Program on International Accreditations in association with the Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS) on April 5th and 6th 2024 (tentative dates) on its modern high-tech campus. The FDP is organized in partnership with AIMS and SEAA Trust, New Delhi.
